The real problem started when Nixon removed the gold standard.

If I had any money, I'd be buying Gold and Silver as fast as possible.

If I had a time machine, I'd be buying gold and silver in 1928.

i am sure all those billionaires will move to Kansas City. Or Des Moines. Or Boise 😀

Get that Boise social scene, the parties, the theater/opera productions, the "who's who of who?"
Then, if you don't like that scene, tell us where you would go. Civilly, please.

I should like to point out that simply leaving the US does not absolve US citizens of US tax liability. The USA, almost uniquely in the world, taxes US citizens no matter where they live in the world.

'But what if they leave and abjure their US citizenship?' The USA, uniquely in the world, can tax ex-US citizens, no matter where they live in the world, for up to [i]ten ye ...[text shortened]... US citizenship.

Trump is lying when he says that if he raises taxes on the rich, they will leave.
YOU ARE a fool. Of course, if you renounce USA citizenship and move to Romania, even Sue would know that you'd be taxed on any monies subjct to tax in the USA, duh.
But you statement is patently incorrect, you should apologize to my friends.

No, the United States generally stops taxing your worldwide income after you officially renounce your citizenship, except for taxes on specific U.S.-sourced income.Once you complete the renunciation process, you are no longer a U.S. citizen. This ends the unique U.S. rule of taxing worldwide income based on citizenship. However, financial ties to the U.S. remain subject to taxation.Taxes

There are a few dozen news articles ghost-written by billionaires online that Mott et al. keep referencing that make absolutely no sense. Conveniently, the billionaires own all the consolidated news outlets now. They keep arguing "tax us less or we will leave" and the dumb conservatives all say ok. Deficits go up and up and we keep cutting their taxes.
It's all part of their Ayn Rand Fountainhead shtick. They dont appreciate my genius. I'm gonna take my ball and go home!

They're still blaming Biden after a year and a half and once Democrats retake Congress I'll give it 10 days before they rediscover that they are supposed to be the party of fiscal restraint.

Why do conservatives keep insisting it's a both party problem when they know it's not?

This explains how the narrative 'both parties do the same' became everyday thinking. When you have the power to propagandise over and over every day for decades, the billionaire class has effectively captured both sides of the debate and has the influence to quash any dissent.

You gave the answer to this in the post I've just quoted.

Biden bears responsibility for not repealing every law that trump signed. Even so, deficits came down under his watch and now are headed back up.

Billionaires own the media and therefore they own the conversation about taxation.
